Perspectivas de los estudiantes de Derecho, Trabajo Social y Psicología de la Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil sobre los factores culturales que inciden en la violencia de género.

Abstract

Gender violence is one of the most normalized and generalized violations of human rights in the world. Thus, through this research, we intend to delve into the perspectives of students of Law, Social Work and Psychology of the Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil on the cultural factors that affect gender violence. For the development of this work, a mixed approach was implemented, with the objective of guaranteeing richness and a greater level of depth in obtaining qualitative and quantitative data. When analyzing the results, it was possible to identify common elements in the cultural discourse of the participants, which are fed and reinforced by the family system and the social context in which they are inserted, showing how the presence of cultural factors rooted in the Latin American social imaginary has reproduced and maintained this hegemonic and inferior view of women. This research work will contribute to the reflection of students and the academy on the importance of addressing issues with a gender perspective, as a fundamental point for the academic training of students and, in turn, for their professional practice, especially for the processes of attention to cases of gender violence, considering that this problem is transversally found in all fields of action of these three careers.
